TENTATIVE Autumn fashions point to the popularity of the
full skirt g own. While they are still In the stage which
the theatrical managers describe as try-outs when applied
to their earliest theatrical productions, yet there is good reason to
believe that the once universal one-piece gown will be revived.
It has many characteristics in Its favor, explaining why it has
so many friends and advocates. In the first place, it has the
twin advantages of being, easy to get into and easy to keep on.
No multiplicity of bands and straps and heavy beltings and
treacherous snaps, No Impatient waiting of husband or escort
while the wearer arrays herself for walk or drive, as when she
must carefully arrange a blouse, then carefully adjust the skirt
over it, then struggle with more or less complex Jacket
The three gowns pictured on this page denote the silhouette
which we may expect in the Autumn. The gowns, you win b
nerve, are all one piece.
The blue net, with the long sleeves and. the generally girlish
effect, is a kind of harbinger of the season on whose threshold
we stand. It has a semi-full skirt, a waist of medium fulness
and long sleeves. But the one-piece effect Is apparent It may
be regarded, as a herald of the Fail fashions,
Bo of the costume of checked and One-color taffeta. This Is
modified Princess, with the apron and pocket effect that is one
of the marks of the Autumn scheme of clothes. Like the dress
of bltfs net, this baa a girdle, though In the case of this weightier
farment the girdle is of patent leather. The gown is built of
blue checked taffeta, with apron tunic and cuffs of a lighter shade
of silk. It Is filled in with embroidered filet, and the soft pro
Jectlng cuffs are of the same material The skirt is also . mod
erately fulL
The largest picture fs a quaintly beautiful model In purple
Chiffon velvet A dinner gown. It provides the slightest covering
of flesh colored mallne for the shoulders. The skirt is finished
with a draped double flounce of embroidered real lace. Large
chous of the lace, with centres of purple velvet, arranged in the
conventional design of crushed blossoms, appear above the
flounce and down the front of the-gown, adding to the old world
quaintneas of effect The soft, wide girdle at the normal waist
line, where girdles will be visible this season, Is of purple and
white plaid.
